Soy Candles: The Perfect Gift For Any Occasion By Kristin Graham At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

It is that time of year again, and if you find yourself frantically searching for the perfect gift at the last minute, do not worry: you are in good company. Americans are busier than ever these days and, as we make more and more personal and business contacts, keeping track of holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, housewarmings, weddings, and other special occasions can seem as daunting a task as climbing Mount Everest.

So if you are running low on time and money and contemplating wrapping up that old fuzzy sweater your Aunt June gave you for Christmas last year, consider an easy and affordable alternative: soy candles.

Listed below are the top five reasons that soy candles make the perfect gift for anyone on your shopping list:

1) According to the National Candle Association, candles are used in 7 out of 10 households and both men and women consider candles to be a highly appreciated gift for a wide variety of occasions.

2) Soy wax is eco-friendly, biodegradable, and made from renewable resources. Soy candles also support American farmers, last longer, and clean up easily with water. When you buy soy candles, you give a gift that helps the environment, and that is an excellent gift to all who live on this planet.

3) The vast majority of candles sold by major candle companies are made with paraffin wax, a petroleum by-product. Burning paraffin often emits black soot and other harmful substances, including carcinogens, into the home. Why not give a gift you can feel good about? Most people love candles and many now burn soy candles exclusively. Even if your gift recipient is not familiar with soy candles, you can be the one to introduce them to a new, healthier way of adding style and fragrance to their home.

4) If, when you think of soy candles, jelly jar candles with checkered ribbons come to mind, think again. Some companies now make soy candles that surpass even the best paraffin candles in design, style, elegance, and originality. There are soy candles for virtually every type of personality available to consumers. One soy candle manufacturer and retailer, Greenhouse Soy Company, has multiple soy candle collections, each with different jar styles, fragrance options, and label designs, so that you can find the perfect candle for even the pickiest friends and family members. For example, their Nana's Pantry Collection features comforting bakery scents in traditional jars, while their Traveler Collection features exciting scents from around the world in modern, recycled glass squares with decorative metal stands. From Chinese Ginger to Grape Bubblegum to Nag Champa, the days of generic candles scents are over.

5) Soy candles are generally very inexpensive compared to other gift ideas such as flowers, gift certificates, and clothing. With most candles costing less that $20, it is very difficult indeed to find a more popular, welcomed gift at such an affordable price.

So if you want a unique, stylish, affordable gift idea, look no further. It does not get any better than a soy candle. Happy candle shopping!
